MouNDsvlLLE CAMP MEETING, Saturday,
August 6.-I will give you merely a
synopsis Of what took :place to-day. The
rain Of last night has laid the dust and
made everything much more pleasant.
Then the cool wave has refreshed US all
and We feel much better. The last cot
tages ere being filled to-day and NO are
now denssly populated little city.
Every room and every cottage in the
whole place is occupied tonight, and
many are stopping IN the neighboring
town. The morning service was conduc-
teh by Rev. G. W. Grimes and Was
profitable service. At 10 o'clock Rev. Sam
Small preached fervent sermon from the
text: Y
The audience, though not SO large as
tho night before was good, and tho very
closest attention WAS paid to the sermon.
The Children's meeting was again under
the charge Of Rev. J. II. Hess and was, as
usual, one ofthe most pleasant services Of
the day. at three o'clock Rev. II. D.
kimball preached from the text: II am
not ashamed of the Gospel Of Christ"
The speaker is from New Orleans, and
shows in his every word and motion his
Southern nature. Earnest, bouyant and
persuasive in his manner, he fairly cap
tivated his audience, as he elucidated his
text and showed what courage the Chris
tan should have in his warfare for the
right. z; .-,@-. Z IN L.
at night Sam Small fairly carried the
audience by storm, as for more than an
hour he eloquently discoursed from the
text, /" For you have l called unto liber-
ty." He spoke Of the bondage Of sin, and
compared it with the slavery Of the South,
showing tits similarity in most striking
manner. Especially did he make strong
appeal for temperance. In speaking OF
the failure Of prohibition in Texas, he
spoke as followB: rt55!ii w ~ u
My heart has boon wruug with pain
and have wept almost the bit.erest tears
Of my life since I have resd the report
from the State OF Texas, where tho blood
money OF the damned living and dead of
that State has been used, poured forth like
q river Of destruction to keep the curse OF
liquor selling, pauperism and dsmnation
upon the people. And Jefferson Davis
they must appeal to him, and he must
write one Of those stereotyped, deviish
epistles, thus to help do the work, to help
raise that old slogaD, and they must have
that old cry to do this awful sin in the
sight OF God and man. And you people
who are in favor Of the propagation and
protection OF that damnable traffic, you
applaud that by which this damnstion is
continued on the people OF Texas. You,
Who have been drinking. Hang JEFF
Davis on a sour apple tree" applaud the
victory that he WAS made the agent to
win, [applause] obeying your master tho
devil, whose traffic is il danger. You,a
member Of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public-the grandest army the world
ever looked upon; you disgrace the
buttons you wear, besmirch the
name written on its roll OF honor; so lost
to honor and to decenoy thst you march
out under the leadership OF JEFF Davis to
help: this infamous and dsmnable bust
ness. You may do that, but, thank God,
here's one man who will die in the pulpit
before he will do it. !. There Is no party in
this country, thank God, strong enough
to make me disloyal to Jesus Christ.
There Is no party name, no party slogan,
no party leader, no party platform, no
party association that can make me lend
my aid the glorious emblem Of my
sovereignty the vote that falls 80 noise
!essly as enow-dakes on the sod, determine
ing the treemsn'a will as clear, ss the voice
Of God to any such devilish purpose.
!, Cries Of amen and applause.
